In China, an underground luxury hotel

“Under construction” has taken on new meaning for a new luxury hotel outside Shanghai — 16 of the 19 floors are being built below ground level in an abandoned quarry. The 380-room InterContinental Shimao Wonderland, whose deepest floor will house a restaurant that will actually be underwater at the bottom of the quarry, is expected to open by late 2014 or early 2015.

Tupac comes back from the dead

Tupac himself showed up in hologram form during a Coachella performance that featured Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent and Wiz Khalifa. Note that Tupac has been dead for over 15 years. Anyway, when we die, we hope someone cares enough about us to bring us back in hologram form for a musical performance. Who knows? It might be fun.
